Form_validation and lang: while comparing two fields

[eluser]henlee[/eluser]

Code:

$this->form_validation->set_rules('password', 'lang:label_password', 'trim|required|min_length[5]|max_length[12]|sha1');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('passconf', 'lang:label_passconf', 'trim|required|matches[password]');

Above code outputs:

The Password field does not match the lang:label_passconf field.

Code:

$this->form_validation->set_rules('password', $this->lang->line('label_password'), 'trim|required|min_length[5]|max_length[12]|sha1');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('passconf', $this->lang->line('label_passconf'), 'trim|required|matches[password]');

While the above code outputs:

The Password field does not match the Password again field.

I think it is working as documented. Consider your second code example.

The value of $this->lang->line('label_passconf') is Password again. What were you expecting?

[eluser]henlee[/eluser]
When you look at the first output,

The Password field does not match the lang:label_passconf field.

you can see that the second label is not translated because I used lang:label_passconf in my form_validation. The first lang:label_password (Password) is correctly translated.

When I use $this->lang->line in both instances is gets translated correctly.

Yeah, it's not translating the second field. Could you file a bug report with a link to this thread, please?

[eluser]skunkbad[/eluser]
I have never seen lang: in the docs. Where does this usage come from?

[eluser]Pascal Kriete[/eluser]
It's documented under translating field names. Been there since the new form validation library was added .

Sure thing

Well, I guess I am sort of jealous. You list a bug and it is fixed immediately. I put in the one right before you, and nada. I see a lot of bug reports are not ever dealt with. I hope mine is fixed, because I don't want to have to keep fixing it every time I make a website.
